John Darnielle

An Instant New York Times Bestseller

“Brilliant...Darnielle is a master at building suspense, and his writing is propulsive and urgent; it’s nearly impossible to stop reading...[Universal Harvester is] beyond worthwhile; it’s a major work by an author who is quickly becoming one of the brightest stars in American fiction.” ―Michael Schaub, Los Angeles Times

“Grows in menace as the pages stack up ...[But] more sensitive than one would expect from a more traditional tale of dread.”―Joe Hill, New York Times Book Review

“The most unsettling book I’ve read since House of Leaves.” ―Adam Morgan, Electric Literature

“...so wonderfully strange, almost Lynchian in its juxtaposition of the banal and the creepy, that my urge to know what the hell was going on caused me to go full throttle...[But] Darnielle hides so much beautiful commentary in the book’s quieter moments that you would be remiss not to slow down.”―Abram Scharf, MTV News
